 |
|
| We're getting married in a few weeks, just a small family affair.I've never been married before, but this is his second wedding.. My family also will NOT be invited due to my family and I not getting along.We have a baby due a month later, so finances are tight for us, and there are a few things we could really use around the house... [new cookware etc] that his ex-wife took in the divorce.Is it tacky to register since his family is really going to be the only ones in attendance and he's already been married? |

| Just register, but don't advertise it unless someone asks... Otherwise it will look like you are asking for gifts. |

| Since it's your first wedding and you are the bride, I think it would be OK to do a small registry. Just don't register for any baby items...that would likely be taken as tacky. |

| So you are not inviting friends?I would say no it is not tacky to have a registry. You have never been married before. It's irrelevant in this day and age.Since you are having a baby, you may want to consider mending fences with your family. It's not really about you anymore. It's about your baby.Congratulations. |

| There is no harm in registering just do not put it on the invitations. Also if you do register be prepared for your family to try to give you something even if you are not getting along. For his family's sake go a little lite on the wedding registry.Just do not register for baby things in a wedding registry, that is what a baby shower and a baby registry is for. If its both of your first child go hog wild on the baby registry. |

| If you need some pots and pans then by all means put them on your list . . a bridal registry should have a variety of gifts and a varied price range. I know of a Bride and Groom who registered for gifts and this was her 4th wedding and his 3rd wedding! They registered for sheets, towels, dishes, glassware, and small applicances (everything they lost in their divorces).Answered by: A Certified wedding specialist / A Professional bridal consultant / A Wedding ceremony officiant |

| Could a friend give you a shower? I think that would be nice and I think it is ok to register, after all you are newly weds and need household items.Best wishes. |
